Abstract

Let X={Xt}t0\mathbf{X}=\{X_t\}_{t\geq 0} be a L\'evy process in Rd\mathbb{R}^d and Ω\Omega be an open subset of Rd\mathbb{R}^d with finite Lebesgue measure. In this article we consider the quantity H(t)=ΩPx(XtΩc)dxH (t) = \int_{\Omega}\mathbb{P}_{x} (X_t\in \Omega ^c) dx which is called the heat content. We study its asymptotic behaviour as tt goes to zero for isotropic L\'evy processes under some mild assumptions on the characteristic exponent. We also treat the class of L\'evy processes with finite variation in full generality.
